Fresh reports have indicated that Petroleum Minister, Alison Madueke, has left the country for the United Kingdom on alleged health reasons. But other sources say she fled due to the defeat of Goodluck Jonathan by General Muhammadu Buhari and her many controversial financial deals.
The Oil sector under watch has been riddled with series of corruption coupled with a private jet saga.
In September, 2012; New York based Sahara Reporters revealed how the Minister left for the UK for medical treatment, but she swiftly issued a rebehindal declaring herself safe and sound. In spite of several sources corroborating claims of her health condition, saying how pertinent documents requiring her attention or signature were being taken over to the UK for her to handle, she denied all the claims of a failing health.
Sources have confirmed that Alison Madueke is out of the country again.
There is however a twist to this particular trip abroad given that the president-elect, Buhari, is soon to resume office, and knowing his stance on corruption would be combing the records in the petroleum sector.
Following this, the Minister knowing full well the monumental rot in the Oil sector thought it best to ‘breather’. Unconfirmed reports have it that Mrs. Madueke left the country via BA (British Airways) on Monday morning, April 6th; in a bid to steer clear from the political space.
Also, an inside source close to her has confirmed that she really did leave the country for a short while but to receive treatments for an unknown health condition.
The matter will get clearer in the next few weeks.
